UAE: Hope Probe tracks dust storms on Mars

The Emirates Mars Mission, named Hope, is returning a number of unique observations of Martian dust storms, providing information and insight into the way in which these storms evolve and spread across huge swathes of the planet.

Coordinated observations made by the EXI camera and the EMIRS infrared spectrometer characterise the thermal state of the surface and lower atmosphere, and provide details of the geographic distribution of dust, water vapour, and water and carbon-dioxide ice clouds over time scales of minutes to days.
